Lenovo has to build an external GPU enclosure that allows you to connect the Lenovo Legion Go to a dock with a GPU as easily as a a switch connects to the switch dock and then this could be the best "mobile" gaming handheld ever made.
it exists already: lenovo legion boost station
@@oscaspunkja The problem is they're all really overpriced.
@@Tiralful Exactly. The dock itself cost more than the Handheld.
@@oscaspunkja Thank you sir. But I hardly couldn´t find any Station in my Country. There are ugly alternatives on AliExpress. Has someone got any expirience with them? I already got a powersupply and a GPU on my own.
They should just add an Oculink port next to USB4 like GPD does.
Well Bob glad to see that 3D printer never gets a break.
I think Bob needs to start an accessory company at this point because these ideas are too good
2:09 - I played like this until my neck couldn't take it anymore. I finally bought an overhead tablet mount for my bed and it changed my life. It looks goofy, but it opens up so many possibilities for gaming/watching media. It allows me to play my switch with a pro controller, or stream games to my iPad in complete comfort. My neck and arms thank me, and I can never go back.
Would like to know, what mount is that?
This is what I want to do, but I keep putting it off for some reason lmao.
This is what I wanted to do. This is what I do with my switch and iPad Pro on my bedside. I have a stand alone iPad holder on my bedside to hold the iPad/switch. This is what contemplating me between rog ally and legion go (and also the sad size)
Whenever I see the Legion Go, it reminds me of what the switch joycons coulda been like. Originally, they were supposed to magnetize like this, but when they scrapped that idea, they kept the *snap* noise that we know and love on the Switch!
Each snap breaks it more and more. 😉 enjoy
@@RickSanchez-uv6esthat's false
@@jeanvictor8178it's not. I opted to replace the plastic buckles in my primary joy cons with metal ones about a year after I received it. The plastic ones were already surprisingly eroded by that point, and I try to be particularly gentle with my hardware, but I was rather fond of the click when they slide into place. Now, even with the metal ones, I just hold the button while I attach them and settle for the simulated SNAP that the console makes when they connect.
@@radicalunarthere’s no railed, it’s like a puzzle piece u snap in.
@@RickSanchez-uv6es not breaks but makes the internal plastic part more loose. you can easily replace them with metal ones from eBay, and they'll never wear out. Spawn Wave had a vid about it several years ago.
I have a steam deck and I really love it, but getting it to play nice with the tv downstairs to show my parents games is a massive pain. Smart TV features are slow and buggy, sometimes entirely unresponsive. I've gotten my mum into some light gaming too, and there are games coming out soon that I know she would enjoy, so I've been thinking about getting this device as one that could basically live downstairs for my mum to use and to use as an alternative media hub for the TV. Price tag is super good for all that it can do imo. Still not completely sold on it though.
Update: I now have a legion go and am using it to write this. Loving it so far! The screen is stunning!
The way you've set it up. It's very inspiring and makes me consider it more.
I decided with the Steam Deck OLED at this time for the SteamOS functionality.
But I really hope the Steam Deck 2 has an eGPU USB4 port for a more powerful console-like experience.
I like how you manage to make everything yours even when the company does not expect you to. That little extra
Thanks for the video. I think yours is the only custom/mod channel that I have patience to watch. You talk about the specs but in a interesting way. Thanks man.
I love watching these videos but I have to constantly remind myself that the desktop build I’m saving for is what I need and is better for me right now. You’re selling me and I don’t want to be sold! Great video!
Love that you made this video! I sold a workhorse laptop and a gaming laptop and are exclusively using the Legion Go since Day 1. Looking for eGPU options, as this will round out the device as a gaming rig, as well as a productivity workhorse on the desk. That is all in addition to it being a killer handheld.
Yeah, I'm getting rid of my gaming laptop - I'm going to have a thin and light and a Steam Deck, then use an eGPU for my laptop for strategy games that require a keyboard (and don't scale on a TV).
Me too
Onexplayer is about to release a decently powerful amd egpu
It’s a paid ad. It’s not his real opinion
@@user-ds8rj2vc4vYou can hook up an eGPU to the Steam Deck?!
So having the ability to drop external features to get the device to the bare minimum is really appealing. Like you, I use an all button fight pad, 3D printer and crazy ideas. It turns a simple concept like a portable windows machine into a PC that can change into what ever form, fit or function you’d like. Neat!
Also big thank you for providing your 3D model.
Its everything that makes the nintendo switch such a promising device, but you can play games
2:05 That's actually an extremely good use case. You can get one of those tablet holders with spider legs that go around your sides rather than one of those cushioned ones.
I was totally thinking about getting this as my main windows desktop. My work requires me to have a mac, so this would mainly be for games. And now, I feel pretty good about the idea of picking it up. Thanks!
You know, that's a good point: I'm used to thinking of console VS PC, trading off power for price, along with exclusives and control schemes etc., but these things are kind of like a console FOR PC with all the benefits (and drawbacks TBF) that come with the format, including the lower price and footprint!
Dude this beats consoles except for exclusives
I like that you thought about as many ways of 'stress testing' this console without it being gimmicky (or actual stress tests, which I think is actually less useful)
I will never not be impressed with how handy you are with CAD software and a 3d printer for someone who does not specifically run a 3D printing channel
Bob, your videos are hilarious and very well made. Really nice job on this.
Nice job you’ve convinced me I’ve been looking for a gaming laptop but there’s a lot more you can do with this I definitely need to check this out!
Bob, we are sharing brain cells, I swear. I had this same idea with my Switch and my Snackbox Micro but I could never make it work. Glad you found a way to make this work and with a much more capable system than the Switch.
Definitely keep us up to date on the keyboards. Looking for a portable mechanical one that's pocketable personally.
Integer scaling is a must have for the legion go….. 800p picture quality is astonishing with it enabled.
Better than using native + rsr?
@@NoBodysGamer much…. Performance is better as well
@@gulfcoaster210
Is it better then games with FSR2?
I found a video with the regedit file, ill try it, so i dont need RSR, FSR or anything?
Just run everything 800p with integer scaling?
Unless its old games that can do full resolution in full speed
@@NoBodysGamer pretty much
@@NoBodysGamer I do still use a little fsr here and there on a couple titles….. fsr quality looks pretty solid at 800p on most titles. It isn’t needed often though. I use it on dead space to get a close to locked 60 fps on high/medium settings. And also on quality in mw3 to keep the frame rate around or above 100fps with fairly high settings. COD looks pretty much as good as native on fsr quality targeting 800p
I get mine later today, bought it last week and it finally arrives today!
I bought one of these knowing you make exactly this
Im so happy
U not gonna regret it is awesome device
I would genuinely use the Legion Go with your 3D-printed stand to orient it vertically, for stuff like Pinball FX, Downwell, arcade games. All it'd need is a weighted base to keep it all standing.
My LLGo is my desktop too! Glad more people are covering this. Got my eGPU connected to my TV for that console experience for now so it has also replaced my consoles.. Including switch what with Yuzu.. Couldnt ask for a better device. The bottleneck of 40gb does show its limitations when you go higher with your GPU, so a 3060 TI is a good shout.
With these keyboard controls, we've gone full circle from gaming laptops to handhelds to laptops again
Lenovo could really go all out with controller and keyboard options if they want to and they should absolutely take advantage of the fact the controllers come off
Really hope they come out with a keyboard
Bob we’ve been on similar tech journeys, trying to learn and tinker as much as we can. This video is exactly what I needed to know that I should get the legion go. I have the same razer core egpu and want to put my 4070 in it. No one has been testing that use case so thank you for trying it. Knowing your bottlenecks were near non existent was exactly what I needed to hear
Keep in mind that at 4K the 3060 Ti is gonna be the bottleneck, like sure, it runs nice in this case, but for other games a 3060 Ti isn’t really a 4K GPU. If you are playing at 1080p for example, then the Legion Pro’s CPU WILL be the bottleneck, more significantly so with a 4070.
Or course, what you will notice will depend on what PC gaming setup you have. If you are usually playing on a laptop with the eGPU then you are probably not going to notice any difference, if you use a full desktop gaming PC with any CPU that’s recommended for gaming then yeah, you are seeing a difference.
TL;DR: In Bob’s case, bottleneck is at GPU because of 4K and it likely is in his desktop PC as well, not CPU.
This video is a paid ad, not an actual review. It’s not exactly what you needed to know because it ignores the cons and completely fails to mention the better windows handhelds.
@@Splackavellie85 clearly you’ve been burned by the product, which is fine, but you don’t need to shit on the video here. It’s not a review, it’s cool things he’s been doing with the device. I’ve seen his review and others so I know the flaws of the system. Personally I don’t care enough about the portrait screen for it to matter. Yes, vrr would be nice, but I’ve been living without it with the steam deck. You mention the z13 flow tablet in another comment. Yeah it’s exponentially more powerful but it’s also exponentially more expensive. This device sits in my sweet spot (especially since I found a Best Buy open box for $600 for the 1tb) for a device that I can turn into a switch pro with parts I already have laying around (egpu). So you can stop your “um actually 🤓” comments
@@Darktega Yeah but I’ll be playing on a 4k tv. The appeal of this system with an egpu is that it’ll act as a switch pro when you dock it, so I’ll definitely hit a gpu bottleneck before cpu. I do want to note the z1 extreme is a pretty capable cpu in and of itself, so it deserves more credit than that. But if I ever do hit a cpu bottleneck, that could also be alleviated with frame gen in certain games. Believe me I’ve been thinking this through, I just needed a video that showed the use case in action
@@Splackavellie85I don't think so. Maybe there are cons but the way this performs at stock, I'm seeing real potential here. I would like to see a nice portable EGPU with a great source of power and also an NVME attached. That is what I'm looking for. I had one issue where I accidentally didn't shut down the Legion Go and the micro sd stopped working but then when it cooled down, it started working again. I was ready to throw in the towel but now, I'm more convinced that it needs the proper care.
I'm in love with this device
I'm pleasantly surprised at your experience with the device, I'm still on the edge of which gaming handheld to get besides the switch, but the controller removal aspect makes a good case for the tablet
I've had several handheld pcs and this one is the best of the bunch! Loving mine!
I've got the legion go, upgraded from steam deck.
I'd say get either steam deck oled (if you want more console like experience) or legion go (if you want more fiddly but also much more powerful and desktop replacement experience)
I'd only consider these two personally because the touch pads are THAT IMPORTANT for a hand-held gaming device for me
This isn’t his experience with the device. It’s a sponsored ad. Lenovo curated what he could say in this video.
@@Tom--Acefrom your experience, is it really an upgrade from the Steam deck? I'm having a hard time getting my mind used to letting my deck go (not the recent oled), but I would like to have some more power to be able to play other games. But I also think Valve gives good support to the Deck and I am afraid Lenovo just let its handheld die in a couple of years.
@@martinsosa3453Legion Go is more powerful but the Steam Deck OLED has better battery efficiency and I think performance per watt as well.
Once you go OLED, you can't go back to LCD. Lenovo really dropped the ball not having OLED. Same goes for Asus.
IPS LCD looks like washed out garbage with or without Mini LED due to the backlight. 🤮🤮🤮
Lenovo has got to be extremely satisfied with this video. Cus damn this was a very well made video. I went from not knowing this existed to wanted one.
Looking forward to future revisions of this handheld. A lot of interesting things with it, to where it'd likely be the one I'd get if I were in the market right now. However, I have a Steam Deck, and I'm not going to be buying a handheld PC yearly, and want a bit bigger jump in performance before getting another.
I would wait for steam deck 2 itll be way more powerful and better battery life
This is the best Legion Go review ive seen!!!!
This dude is good!! I love your videos man!!
i couldnt agree with all the points you have mentioned. i am loving the go. i have had thr SD and Ally, and the go is so good, versatile and fun to use. especially with my fightpad and sf6, GGS, KI
Of all the portable gaming PC's, this is definitely my favourite. I own a Legion Tower with a 3070 and it runs like a dream for single player games, so it's exciting to see a portable version!
As someone who semi-recently bought a secondary laptop (yes i own 2 laptops i am not financially smart) just to game while im studying overseas, this sounds pretty cool
You made the right choice on the lower end razer core. The USB version has a bug that causes it to crash when you have USB stuff plugged in. At best those are good for just the Ethernet.
The joke with his dog and girlfriend is so funny 😂 I love this guy and his content. Keep it up
Love those small keebs you have. Please start reviewing some mechanical keyboards Wulff. I know the scene is already packed with hobbyists but I'd love to hear your breakdown on mechanical keyboards and what kind of switches you like for different kinds of games
I too have long dreamt of a mobile Tekken machine. You, sir, have created it. I love the legion go so much!
And arcade stick with a legion go dock sounds pretty cool lol
BRO!! Amazing VFX on your dog I love it lol 😂 2:15
I usually love your videos but the fact this was sponsored by Lenovo feels sorta "sus" to me and just feels like an ad for the device instead of an overview from a tech channel known for honest takes and thoughts on new devices. You made ALOT of great points regarding the performance and the hardware with the legion GO, but you didn't mention any of it's short comings compared to other handheld competitors out right now.
The software is quite honestly terrible at the moment. Yes, it will be fixed with time but compared to the ROG Ally or the steam deck, software is VERY lacking. The weight of the device can be a massive issue for most people looking to play games on the GO (as the name implies). While yes you can use the device docked and remove the controllers, using the device in your hands with the controllers attached is almost 2 lbs of weight which is almost double the weight of the ROG Ally and the Steam Deck OLED. Lastly the ergonomics of the device while in hand-held mode is pretty uncomfortable. Sharp edges dig into your palms and the placement of some of the buttons is very questionable.
FPS mode is kind of a gimmick once you have it in your hands. I loved the idea, but the execution is a lot to be desired due to the off placement of the controls on the right controller. No matter how long I played an FPS I couldn't wrap my brain around the button placement and it ended up being easier just using a bluetooth gaming mouse (which you can do with any other handheld out there).
All in all the Legion GO is amazing in terms of it's specs/performance/features and its wonderful for people wanting a desktop experience in a portable package! However, sadly the hardware and software cons (at the moment) outweigh (pun intended) the good when I am looking for a portable handheld gaming system.
It's a sponsored video not a review so he showcases the device and what you can do with it. What is "sus" about that?
One of the first things he mentioned is that he reviewed this in another video. This was pretty clearly a sponsored video/ad for what you can do with it. Or what he has done with it in this case. I don't really know reviews that advertise like 4 different products and share 3d prints so you can do something silly(but cool) with a thing.
@@d.s.9213 I realize that it wasn't a review after a second watch and that was my mistake. However, again it just feels like a forced advertisement for the product and I'm not a fan of videos like that, especially from a channel that is known for honest reviews.
But that's my opinion of course
How he did it makes sense - take the sponsorship on the video where he is just messing around with how he'd like to use it, and keep the review genuine. This is more ad friendly, and gives him an easy video he was already going to make anyway.
@@Wilkin-vd5wx That's what I was trying to say as a response to the original comment ^^` The review is another video.
Thanks Bob, great video!
Hey Wulff! For future videos can you add the games you show in the description or as small text? Love the videos
Awesome content man 👍 Im one of those people you said that doesnt have gaming PC. Im considering to buy lenovo legion go
Just a note for the eGPU + Legion Pro handheld bottleneck “issue”: at 4K the bottleneck WILL be in the GPU most of the time, you would probably start running into Legion Pro limitations if you were using a 1080p monitor as then you would be CPU bound.
Still not likely, bottleneck should on the USB4 link not CPU, the Zen 4 8 cores at 30W is superfast no current game can be bottlenecked by it.
As mentioned above the CPU is actually pretty decent - even at 5 watt TDP it will hang in surprisingly well with older Ryzen desktop CPUs like the 2000 series and with everything maxed for performance it is actually not that far behind a desktop AMD 5800X!
The GPU and where relevant USB4 link is the weakness.
I am considering this over a gaming PC and an avid phone plus console gamer. Interesting choices of accessories and overclocking the performance of the Legion Go. This fit the bill, thanks!
Thanks for the video!
I really like the creativity. Personally I'm striving to become more like you, more creative and thinking outside the box. Not because I dont have the money to have both.. but just symplifying my life and be more efficient and less "needy".
Thanks for the inspiration!😁
thanks for including the 3d printing files, i wanna do one for ROGAlly/Steamdeck
hey wulff would love to see u talk about your journey to find the right mobile keyboard as it would be like you talking about the fight pads which I also enjoyed
I’m in the can’t spend money in both band camp. I’m so excited about the technologies in the gaming world out right now.
i was overdue to upgrade my ryzen 3200g desktop,so i just opted to buy a legion go instead being i already had egpu enclosure and i am very happy with that choice it doesn't disapoint on the handheld side of things and once you plug a gpu into it, it becomes quite the capable gaming machine, if you want to have a gaming handheld that can do double duty as a desktop then your gonna want one of these
I normally wouldn't like sponsored videos, but this is well done
I’m looking to get a Lenovo Legion Go as my first personal desktop/pc/handheld ever and having a sort of docking station such as this would be amazing!
Lenovo go looks so awesome and woods is giving one away I'm really feeling this thing after watching your video they are kinda expensive but it's really nice hopefully maybe there's a small chance I could win it and get to experience an amazing handheld like this these are so exciting been looking into them since they released and one day I'ma get one if I don't win woods thank you for all you content and showing the capabilities of this your awesome and your videos are always so in depth thank you for all the tiring work to make such awesome videos I appreciate them so much
Love my Legion Go! Honestly, one of the best purchases I've pulled the trigger on. Played many of my games off Steam and from PC GamePass, and it has been great to just jam out while chilling on my couch or lying in bed. My wife loves the device as well as she's been tweaking on Coral Island.
Is not having vrr is an issue? I really like the giant screen of go but because of a lot of reddit thread about vrr I can't decide between the two
@@naavidmorshed5516 personally, I haven’t had issues in that regard. Believe or not, I’ve been playing Cyberpunk 2077 with FSR 2.1 with performance mode on high settings and it runs perfectly around 60fps
@@naavidmorshed5516 either way though, I have a lot of love for all 3: legion go, steam deck, and rog ally. For me, I just wanted to play my gamepass games comfortably while offline, and steam deck still have hiccups with that, so I went with the latter
@@naavidmorshed5516 Vrr isn't a huge issue on 8.8 inch screen
Yes coral island and palia I’m excited about. And Deathloop. How does Pc Gamepass work and what can you play and not play. I don’t have Xbox yet
The big screen really makes a difference. It’s hard to go back to steam decks size
I really want an enclosure like the one you made but for a small portable keyboard instead, and maybe a little added protection against drops and stuff. I 100% would just take the controllers off and use this as a tablet if something like that gets made. (I have a legion go, and just got a 3d printer that im learning to use)
Hahahaha the dog. I enjoy your videos keep up the good work
Just got an Ally, and it is my replacement for a dedicated PC on my living room. It is in fact, spec for spec, more powerful than the one that I was using, but that's mainly because it was an old Optiplex, despite quite upgraded - 4790K, RX 6400, 16 GB Ram and SSDs. With a dock like these Ugreen, Jsaux, Baseus, etc, I don't think anyone that want a gaming desktop (within reasonable expectation) could go wrong with either the Ally or the Legion Go, and that's not considering the eGPU. Factoring these in, then for all intents and purposes, I thing they are a valid replacement for a desktop PC.
Pretty much. I got my desktop AFTER I got my steam deck. As my PC was starting to die, and due for upgrade after 10 years. Regret getting a GPU for it. Because... I've played games on it only a few times.
Issue with Ally on eGPU front is that Asus went for a proprietary plug so you will wind up paying a lot more vs standard eGPU. That said, Ally software/performance is quite ahead of Lenovo right now. Go has a lot of catching up to do and I am not certain Lenovo will actually put the support behind it.
@@OblomsLenovo has been very active in the legion go subreddit. They’ve given weekly updates on things that are getting worked on and have made an effort to be fully transparent about what they know needs to be worked on and what they are fixing based on feedback from the community. They have put out a few updates since launch that have helped the device improve in performance and general enjoyment.
I love the legion go and plan on getting an egpu for it
I just upgraded my Lenovo Legion Go with Visiontek 2tb drive. Im also running it with eGPU 3090, ethernet and 4 usb slots. I sold my 5900X Titan x Pascal gaming pc because this new setup easily replaces it. Found also out there is not plenty information about this kind of setup while ran in to blue screens. Had to DDU, install nvidia drivers in safemode and then reinstall stuff back and was good to go. Also i had to pair mine with Keychron K3 Pro keyboard. Been loving it. Huge fan of the device!
watching wull denn turning lenovo legion to a portable arcade machine is something else
Dude my legion go was one of the best decisions I have ever made in terms of buying something that will keep giving me the entertainment that I want from it. This thing is an absolute UNIT for a handheld. My only issue is that the right side joystick RGB light has stopped functioning properly, as well as the controllers are a bit rigid in the hand. I'm real excited for the prospect of third parties coming in and making controller attachments or even whole new attachable controllers. The possibilities for this device are literally endless. I urge anyone who is on the fence about buy one of these, to go for it. You're more than likely going to love it. Just make sure you buy the 1tb version at least.
If this thing had OLED, VRR, occulink, and better sound system, this thing would be perfect
Honestly agree as an owner. But the screeen in really nice already
OLED screen and SteamOS for me would be what was needed.
I'm instead hopeful that a new Steam Deck 2 would have Thunderbolt 4 or 5, and retain the OLED screen and get a more powerful APU.
Throw that with a nice eGPU and a 4080 or something and it'll be a best.
I love the shitt people talk that can't afford the device.
@@mikejames6588 who is shit talking? And who said anything about affording?
@@Churd_ go back to Wuhan
love Hannah and Taco Bell dog judging you
4:50 *Finally a handled that comes with queso. I’ve been always looking for something like that*
Hey Bob, love the video!
You mentioned that you play a lot of platformers. What are some of your favorites that are on Steam?
I personally use this as my all in one pc/mobile device. I take it with me to work and play on my breaks and dock it when I get home and it works just fine. I DO plan on eventually saving up to get an eGPU for my home set up. But right now most games I am playing are not demanding enough for me to worry about at the moment. Legion Go is a 10/10 for me.
I bro , I am thinking to buy it,I want to know one thing that, I do forex trading and love to play games, so on this device ,I can browse same as laptop and download things? Also can ply games?
Cz if it works like that then no reason to buy a s9 fE plus Samsung tablet.
Plz suggest me
I really like the design for the snack box micro combo, so I printed it out. I have to admit, the corners are pretty sharp on the palms of the hand. Could we get a remix with a bit of chamfer? Thanks for making the design!
I am really a fan of how it looks without the controllers. something about a big chunky powerful tablet that i like
It's like a laptop without the subpar keyboard/mouse tacked on. Nice if you have a mechanical keyboard and high end mouse you wanna use anyway. I'm surprised this sort of idea hasn't taken off before.
I mean the Z1 Extreme is still an 8 core 16 thread APU. That's more cores than my 5600x has, and on top of that it's zen 4. Zen 4 scales really well from low to high TDP. If external gpu cases were cheaper I would do a setup like that instead of a full desktop right now.
I recently got a jseaux dock for my legion go and I’ve been playing on max resolution on my monitor with the go’s screen disabled and it runs great that way.
Great video! Take a look at the GPD G1 its a super portable EGPU perfect for the LEGO.
will definitely be getting one to replace my surface. Lenovo should make a tiny keyboard that slots into the bottom usbc
Buy a tablet holder for bed mate, basically a hand to lift tablet or tiny screen like this on the air, exceptional handy
It's opened a whole new world for me i play to travel with one and a portable EGPU.
Your dock design is the closest I have seen to what I want for my Legion go. I want to learn how to create one to make a dock purely tontake advantage of the bottom port with a cable going to the actual usb c hub I am using.
Did the same thing with my Legion Go...Got the Razer Core X (with the USB ports) took a 3070 out of my desktop and the performance is fantastic. The docking/undocking isn't as seamless as the Switch, but it's pretty freaking great. I have an EVGA GPU and there is some wonkiness with the fan running full blast when the Go is in sleep mode, but performance is just as good as my dedicated desktop gaming rig. I'd love to see 3rd party controllers without FPS (smaller/lighter) It's a great device!
That's partly a Windows issue. That's why I'm hoping the Steam Deck 2 has eGPU support. I want that one device that I can carry around with me, then slot into a dock (& eGPU) for a powerful console-like experience.
The only reason I didn't go for the Legion Go is because I hate Windows. If this natively ran SteamOS without issue, then I'd have jumped on it.
@@user-ds8rj2vc4v I hear you! I wish the SteamDeck had TB support. I freaking love the OLED deck but it still just doesn't look great on a big TV. I had read somewhere that EVGA GPU's have a weird issue with the fans and eGPUs, but I'm not bothering to buy a different OEM GPU just to try it out!
I have my Steam Deck for all that goodness and my ROG ALLY for all the Z1 Extreme VRR goodness. I think ive ruled out a Legion Go at this point, even though i really love the Mouse Option & Track Pad on it!!!!!
I've been saying a lot that the price doesn't justify this product for me personally. But seeing how you go about it always changes my mind a bit on these things. Really love seeing you put your 3D printing skills to the test with these products.
That's because your mistake is letting price dictate your decision. This isn't a Ferrari or Lamborghini we're talking about.
Your enjoyment of a product should be based on the experience it provides and NOT how much you paid for it.
If you got the Legion Go for free then you'd be praising it. If someone told you to pay retail price for it then suddenly it's not worth it?? MAKES NO SENSE. 🤣🤣🤣
@@PSYCHOV3N0Mwell to be fair, I’m a simple person and have been having a blast with my steam deck that I got on sale with 64 gb and put more storage for way less. So when I say price doesn’t justify it for me PERSONALLY, I mean that I feel like I would have gotten the same enjoyment out of it that I would have for something a lot cheaper. Hope this helps.
I love this thing
the Z1E/7840u is a very capable cpu it can actually rival some desktops in overall cpu performance at full bore
For all the awesome gadgets I’m surprised you’re not using steal air glasses hehe total game changer. I use a similar pc - Onexplayer 2 pro- on its back on a small fan and wireless controllers and AR goggles in bed. Awesome
I bought one of these yesterday, somewhat justifying me carrying this as a laptop too. As a PC, it's perfect if you have access to a docking station. (Perfect for me, that is. I don't do crazy cad stuff, it's mostly Microsoft Productivity stuff plus web, for which this is excellent) As a gaming device, i'm new to it. I tried Cyberpunk with the controllers. the game runs very well but I hate using a controller, so I'll be buying a small BT mouse. then I played Diablo IV with the controllers. I loved it!
I have owned all the mainstream handheld so far. And this one is by far the best. I'm getting it for having gaming on the go. But also so my girlfriend has something to play when she comes over, and being able to add an eGPU is awesome. When I upgrade the GPU in my desktop I'll just pop my 2070 TI into the enclosure and it adds more functionality to the device for me. Without having to build her her own rig right now.
I would use it exactly how you are right now. I am a Marine, work doesn't let me have a whole pc set up, I have the time for a couple of games. I could also use an upgrade from my current computer. I have a portable monitor I use for a switch I have, and I am sure it would work great with this.
The more I see the Legion Go the more I am intrigued with it than the others. I want to see the OneXplayer tablet 3-1 next.
This is nearly revolutionary. Instead of a controller, you could also put a keyboard in there. I'll be hard at work trying to design new 3d printed keyboard holders lol
I bought my Legion Go as an 8 inch tablet since I don't even use the controllers. It is going to be my new desktop with a dock. I LOVE IT!!!
Hi bro , I am thinking to buy it,I want to know one thing that, I do forex trading and love to play games, so on this device ,I can browse same as laptop and download things? Also can ply games?
Cz if it works like that then no reason to buy a s9 fE plus Samsung tablet.
Plz suggest me
The portable PC scene is exciting and ever morphing. Thanks to the Switch and Steam Deck, things are getting very capable and versatile.
This now challenges to some degree, the relevance of massive tower PC beasts
I never liked portable gaming PCs but seeing how very similar it is to my favorite console, the Switch. I might consider getting it.
I got the legion go and im falling in love with pc gaming all over again. My kid plays games on ps5 and i play with him on the le-go. Its my favorite device right now
If I had the know-how, I would download those 3D print files and tweek them for 1. a keyboard in place of the fight controller and 2. the ability to house anything with joycon rails on the side of the Go. If I could connect a nyxi or doyoki gamecube-style controller to something like this, that would be it, that would be the perfect device for me
I use a 6700xt with my LLG and it works great!
This one device for all use cases with e gpu is the future am dreaming of.
You can come home plug it in have extra storage and ssds pluging into it and dual boot and can switch from something like steam os on the go to windows with all the egpu goodness.
Plus with removable joycons you could also turn it into a tiny little laptop too 😂 if you replace them with a keyboard! ❤ 🤤
(in a future imaginary device)
I have the Rog Ally with the XG Mobile 3080, and I agree this has been amazing. I wish that Asus would have put a USB 4 on the ally. I still love console gaming, but I've been buying games more and more on Steam. I can play whatever I want at 4k or 14440p just fine.
I was going to get a gaming laptop but the legion go is so much more comfortable in bed and in the couch, and its powerful I’m loving mine , 1 day owner and already in love
*FYI:* To use your right thumbstick as a mouse pointer just like the Ally does, go to Steam settings and enable desktop controller input. The sensitivity is a bit wack, so adjust it accordingly in Legion Space or Steam. Use your main L/R triggers as Left/Right mouse. Steam has to be running, so either touchscreen/touchpad it at bootup or have it in your startup apps in the background. GL!!
